What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?
Water is unusual in that as it freezes it expands, thus water's density is less when a solid than as a liquid, interestingly water is most dense around 4C.
When a solid substance is placed in water or another liquid particles of the substance break awayand move into a liquid what is this called?
The process is called 'dissolving', provided the solid substance is soluble in the liquid solvent in which it is present.
If something floats in water does the water have more or less density?
The general rule is that an object will float, if it has less density that the liquid (or gas) in which it is placed. If the density of a liquid is greater, a larger amount of objects will float. Also, the same object will float higher, if it is placed in a denser liquid.
What are the three phases of water?
Ice, Water, and Steam.Bonus answer: Plasma!
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
What solid can be in a liquid?
Any solid can be placed in a liquid. If the solid is less dense then it will float. If it is not soluble and its melting temperature is higher than the temperature of the liquid it will remain solid and not become part of a mixture. any solid can be converted into liquid except those which becomes sublimed.
What is the examples of liquid become solid?
Liquid water placed in a freezer will become solid ice.
How can you tell when an object will float on water or any other liquid?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. also an object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
Why does a solid needle placed horizontally on the surface of the water float?
Due to surface tension
What happens to a solid object when density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
What happens to a solid object with density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
Example of liquid to solid?
Water (liquid) placed in the freezer which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or colder turns to ice (solid).
What happen to a solid placed in a liquid if the densities of the solid and liquid are the same?
The solid object would be "neutrally buoyant" with respect to the liquid you placed it in. If you placed it in fairly gently, it would float at the surface (as opposed to ON the surface, like a cork in water for instance). If you pushed the object below the surface it would float at the level you pushed it down to (imagine a diver using their weight belt and flotation vest to maintain a fixed depth: not quite the same thing but the effect is the same). However, depending on the depth of the liquid, you would also need to take into account the "pressure gradient". This means that as the pressure in the liquid increases with depth, it becomes more dense. So, there will be a point in your liquid where the density of the liquid rises above the density of the solid object. The solid object would therefore "float" back up to this point if forced any deeper.
If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?
